On Tuesday, April 25, 2023, I published new walkthroughs for the games and stories listed below! Some of these were paid for by my wonderful patrons at Patreon. Please consider supporting me to make even more new walkthroughs for works of interactive fiction at Patreon and Ko-fi.
1. A1RL0CK by Marco Innocenti (2023) Average member rating: (9 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
Alarms are blaring, lights are flashing, and the airlock won't open. A voice on the speaker tells you to calm down, the situation is stable, and you're two kilometers below the ocean surface. The voice cuts off abruptly. You're a child named Chloe, wearing skintight overalls. It's hard to think.
2. Lazy Wizard's Guide by Lenard Gunda (2022) Average member rating: (14 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this fantasy game, you play as Bartholomew, a final year student at a magical boarding school. It's time for your final exam, but you were too lazy to study and you've forgotten all your spells. Can you pass your exam anyway?
3. Submarine Sabotage by Garry Francis (2023) Average member rating: (4 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this game, you play as Seaman Recruit Williams of the USS Ibis, a US Navy submarine submerged near Alaska. Spotting some unknown whitish gas, you quickly dive into the airlock and close the hatch behind you. Now what do you do?
4. Falling to Pieces by Gianluca Girelli (2023) Average member rating: (2 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
This dark short story begins with you in a decompression chamber whose airlock is leaking air into outer space. You don't remember who you are or how you got here, but the alarms and the sense of impending danger suggest you need to get to safety as soon as possible.
5. Spectrum, by Caelyn Sandel (as Colin Sandel) (2011) Average member rating: (8 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this surreal toy game, you are at the center of a color wheel representing 25 states of mind. Near you are a diary entry, a map, and four broken statues. Find a way to repair the statues so the diary entry makes sense.
6. Blorp! by Shawn Sijnstra (2023) Average member rating: (2 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this small game, you're the owner of an underwater brewery, and you're just back from vacation. Having a brewery underwater has been a great sales gimmick, but Dave's sent you a cryptic message that something's gone wrong, so now you need to clean up whatever mess he's left for you.
In this tricky introduction to an incomplete game, you play as the Devil. You've traveled to Earth to collect the soul of Ezra Mayhew. You carry his contract, recorded in bile and blood, and his final payment is now due.
8. Reddex, by Phlegethon (2020) Average member rating: (1 rating) David Welbourn says:
9. Sparkle by Juhana Leinonen (as Karly Di Caprio) (2014) Average member rating: (7 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this strange game where you can change things into other things, you play as an apprentice named Xia. You've hiked up Mount Shanshan and now need to get a cable car working so you can reach the mountain top. A hotel is nearby. Perhaps you should meditate.
In this short story, it is the time of The End. Magic has died, heroes are no more, and the Fates have failed. You, a mortal, can only walk life's path to The End and wait.
11. Wake Up by Phillip J Rhoades (2018) Average member rating: (4 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this short horror game, you wake in your bed, but the light and your bedroom itself seem faded. The bed seems hardly there. You feel your big toe resting against the plaster of the wall, but you can't move to see it. And then: You sense a small pressure on your chest.
